[Bug 1875062] Re: [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing username/password
I have a working patch for ubiquity that sets the GNOME keyboard there as well. Next steps (next week): * finish test cases * test Kubuntu (KDE) * then create merge request I created bug #1968354 for open-vm-tools to make the udev trigger more precise. Site notes == If you do following steps in the live system: ``` sudo gedit # close without any change ps auxff | grep dconf-servic[e] ubiquity --debug gtk_ui ``` `sudo gedit` will start a dconf-service process owned by root. Then ubiquity will launch another dconf-service process owned by ubuntu: ``` ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ps aux | grep dconf-servic[e] ubuntu 1596 0.0 0.1 156984 6020 ?Ssl 17:28 0:00 /usr/libexec/dconf-service root5615 0.0 0.1 156856 5708 ?Sl 17:29 0:00 /usr/libexec/dconf-service ubuntu 5998 0.0 0.1 156956 6060 ?Sl 17:29 0:00 /usr/libexec/dconf-service ``` In that case, gsettings changes by ubiquity will be send to the "wrong" dconf-service and the gnome-shell will not get these changes. Solution: Run ubiquity the same way the ubiquity.desktop runs it: ``` sudo --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_DATA_DIRS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR sh -c 'ubiquity --debug gtk_ui' ``` Note 2: I also run into #1755452 during testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875062 Title: [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing username/password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1875062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks a lot for your hard work with this, Benjamin. It looks promising indeed. While I suppose it's considered too late for the 22.04 release, I really hope that somebody will review and merge your proposal soon after that. If it proves to work without side issues, it could then be included in the 22.04.1 point release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875062 Title: [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing username/password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1875062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tested with the Ubuntu 22.04 daily build ISO from yesterday, and can no longer reproduce the issue with incorrect effective layout in the window for entering username, password, etc. Well done, Benjamin! :) I'd love to see the fix backported to focal too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875062 Title: [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing username/password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1875062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've just tested this, and can confirm that there is a bug regarding keyboard layout in 22.04 beta. As this time the error also appears when you select the keyboard initially it could a new error. I also have a preview image of 22.04 dated mars 27th that does not have the error, even after updated installer. ** Attachment added: "Entering æøå after selecting Norwegian keyboard does not show correct keys" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1875062/+attachment/5765721/+files/not%20norwegian%20in%20install.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875062 Title: [20.04] Keyboard layout changes during installation before typing username/password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1875062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dag,
Can you confirm you mean 24.04 and not 22.04, please?
